Our review Minix Neo-X8 H Plus will be online in a few days, but in the meantime we try to make ourselves useful by publishing the procedure for get root access . The new Mini PC Minix comes with firmware that does not have one, but fortunately you can use the software package prepared for the previous model ( Neo-X8 H ) and have the same benefits.

There are two methods. The following is the first, the most simple, tested by the writer only a few hours ago. It is to download a file, add it on a flash drive or an SD card, start it and follow steps in 3/4 recovery mode . In detail.

Root of Minix Neo-X8 H Plus

  1. Download This .zip file and save it to SD or USB Drive. Do not pull it out.
  2. Insert the SD / USB Drive into one of the doors of the Mini PC.
  3. Run the update tool of the system (in the Apps menu).
  4. Click “Select” and locate the .zip just inserted.
  5. Click on “Update” and wait for the reboot into recovery mode.
  6. From there, select “Apply updated from EXT” and locate our usual .zip.
  7. Select it and wait for the installation of the package.
  8. When finished, restart the system by selecting “Reboot System” menu.

That’s all. At this point, if desired, you can install the app check to make sure you’ve got root access to X8-H Plus . Having the ability to write directly to system files and change some aspects of the device is a nice benefit to Mini PC Android like this, but we must act consciously and keep in mind risks of this procedure. We’ll be back in a few days. If you have special tests to propose, please leave a comment below!
